to provide best performance and can result in
premature component failure.
Oven care
•
When the oven is not in use and before
attempting to clean the appliance
ALWAYS
be certain that the control knobs
are in the
OFF
position.
•
Use oven gloves to protect your hand from
potential burns.
•
Cooking high moisture content foods can
create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door
). When opening the
oven, stand well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
•
The inside door face is constructed with
toughened safety glass. Take care
NOT
to scratch the surface when cleaning the
glass panel.
•
Accidental damage may cause the door
glass panel to fracture.
•
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
•
DO NOT
use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
•
Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly
to the back of the oven.
DO NOT
close the
door against the oven shelves.
•
DO NOT
use aluminium foil to cover
shelves, linings or the oven roof.
•
When the oven is on,
DO NOT
leave the
oven door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the control knobs may become very
hot.
•
DO NOT
use the timed oven if the
adjoining oven is already warm.
•
DO NOT
place warm food in the oven to
be timed.
•
DO NOT
use a timed oven that is already
warm.
•
Use dry oven gloves when applicable –
using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface.
Oven Shelves
(dependant on model)
•
To fit the glide-out shelf, hook the front of
the shelf onto the runners as shown
(
). The rear of the shelf should rest
on the runners, in front of the rear stop
(
Standard oven shelves can be fitted by lining
up the shelf with a groove in the oven ladders.
Push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf
stop. Lift the front so the shelf clears the stops,
then lower the front so the shelf is level and
push it fully back.
Hob care
•
NEVER
allow anyone to climb or stand on
the hob.
•
DO NOT
use the hob surface as a cutting
board.
•
DO NOT
leave utensils, foodstuffs or
combustible items on the hob when it
is not in use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).
•
DO NOT
place plastic or aluminium foil, or
plastic containers on the hob.
•
ALWAYS
turn the control to the
OFF
position before removing a pan.
•
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage both the hob and pan.
Cooker care
As steam can condense to water droplets
on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be
necessary during cooking to wipe away any
moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven
exterior by cooking vapours (
).
